About Andrew

Andrew Buurman is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and career concerns. He has practical experience helping people facing addiction and loss. He aims to make starting therapy easier by acknowledging the courage it takes to reach out.

Andrew uses a warm, non-judgemental style in sessions. He focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be straightforward and centred on what a person wants to change. With three years of professional experience, Andrew draws on everyday language to keep conversations clear and usable. He helps people name patterns, notice unhelpful thinking, and try different ways of responding.

That emphasis is useful for issues such as attachment worries, control struggles, anger, loneliness and midlife questions. Clients can expect help with practical challenges too, such as coping strategies for panic or building confidence at work. Andrew also supports people dealing with fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness.

He encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change. Andrew works in English and accepts international clients. He offers a calm, patient presence and aims to help people feel understood while they explore what matters most to them.

Ways of working Andrew names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is the main approach Andrew uses. It focuses on listening closely to what a person says and responding with empathy. This approach helps when people feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief or trauma and need a steady, respectful space to talk.

He keeps the work collaborative. That means the therapist and client decide together which ways of working feel most useful. They will try different tools and adjust the style to match goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible, asynchronous contact.

These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life and to access help from different locations. Andrew uses the different options to match the practical needs of each person while working on their goals.
